The only person who had ever seen me was Heathcliff.  
And without him as my mirror, I could not even see myself. 
 
When Cathy’s father brings Heathcliff,
an orphaned boy, home to Wuthering Heights, she loses her heart to him. Cathy and Heathcliff are not destined for an easy life or a happy ending. Yet theirs is a love that defies everything: pain, punishment, disaster, even death . . .  
Powerfully retold from Cathy’s point of view in this stunning new edition from Carnegie Medal – winning author Tanya Landman, Wuthering Heights is the tragic story of a passionate, obsessive love.

I was not loved. 
I was not wanted. 
I did not belong. 
 
After a miserable childhood, a job offer at Thornfield Hall seems to promise Jane Eyre a brighter future. But haunting, joyless laughter echoes along Thornfield Hall’s corridors. Strange things happen in the dead of night. Secrets lurk in the attic.  
When Jane meets the owner of Thornfield Hall—the enigmatic, brooding Mr. Rochester—her life is changed forever. Only—is it for better? Or for worse? 
Powerfully retold in this stunning new edition by Carnegie Medal—winning author Tanya Landman, Jane Eyre is the timeless story of an iconic heroine's search for love, freedom, and belonging.
